[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One good rule is cook once - eat twice.  Roast some pork and make it into bbq or tacos.  Cook a chicken and eat 1/2 each night maybe one night with a sauce.  Etc ... [/quote]

This. Cook on the days you don’t work and eat the leftovers on the work days. Hire cleaning help. Eat out one day a week when it makes sense. Assuming your husband helps in other ways and isn’t just checked out and lazy, I would be fine with this. [/quote]

+2.  Also pick one day a week to batch cook some dinners and stock the freezer.  Think meal train: casseroles, lasagne, ziti, chili, hearty soups - stuff that can be made in large quantities and will keep well.  When you run out of inspiration pull something out of the freezer the night before and you're good for the next day.

Also: bagged salads, and steam in a bag frozen vegetables and rice.

If he truly doesn't do any cleaning at all, I'd move the cleaners to once a week as well.  You say you're technically part time, but according to the Department of Labor you are not.  36 hours a week is a full-time schedule.[/quote]
